Inhalt:
Literature Seminar
Each student presents one article relevant to their research project, explaining the main problem/hypothesis, the approach, and the conclusions. Together with other students and lecturers they discuss
how the methods or findings could be related to their own project or research interests. Students learn how to develop a scientific argument in English using specialist terminology and forms appropriate
in a professional environment.
Research Project Implementation
Students perform a one-semester research project designed during the winter term, either as part of current projects in the Section Palaeobiology, or pursuing their own research questions developed
with lecturers.
Data acquisition may take place in the field, in museum collections, through literature mining or examination
of material available on site, e.g. the microfacies collection, and involve all available techniques,
including ultrastructure, histology, μCT, geometric morphometrics, 3D model construction
and others. Results of the research project are presented in an article following a PNAS format. Emphasis
is also put on data handling and archiving, reproducibility of the results, as well as on soft
skills: sharing lab space and equipment, communication with colleagues and fellow students, and
handling unexpected problems in project preparation.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
The students are able to:
to present the chosen problem to a broader professional audience and engage in a competent discussion on relevant methodology and importance of the topic
learn good practice in sample and data handling
gain the ability to work independently on data collection and analysis
write a research article in PNAS format, presenting the results of their work in a concise fashion
become parts of research teams early and learn the organizational and social skills associated with teamwork
Literatur:
To be identified by the student, based on suggestions from lecturers or own initiative.
